Fresh Sake, Great Discount, Worldwide Delivery.

We source directly from local Japanese producers and deliver most sake to your hands within 6 months of bottling. This ensures you get the freshest possible product, preserving the vibrant flavors intended by the brewers, unlike retailers that may sell nearly expired bottles.

By eliminating the middleman and working directly with producers, we cut out unnecessary costs. This allows us to offer a wide variety of premium sake and shochu at prices lower than traditional retail, giving you great value without compromising on quality.

Our sake is typically bottled within 6-12 months before reaching your hands. We prioritize fast and efficient shipping to ensure that you’re enjoying the freshest product possible, preserving the intended flavor profile.

We offer a wide selection, including Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, Nigori, and sparkling sake. You’ll also find sake made from top rice varieties like Yamada Nishiki (smooth and balanced), Gohyakumangoku (light and crisp), and Omachi (rich and earthy). Our range covers everything from light and refreshing to rich and complex flavors.

Sake should be stored in a cool, dark place, ideally in the refrigerator, to maintain its freshness. Once opened, sake should be consumed within a week for the best flavor. Shochu, on the other hand, can be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight, and it remains stable for long periods even after opening.

We work directly with verified local sake suppliers in Japan, ensuring that every bottle we sell is authentic and of the highest quality.

Sake is a rice-based brewed beverage known for its variety of flavors, from light and crisp to rich and umami. Umeshu, on the other hand, is a plum liqueur made by soaking ume fruit (Japanese plums) in alcohol and sugar. This process gives umeshu its distinctively sweet and tart flavor, different from the range of profiles you find in sake.

Yes, we do offer bulk orders for those looking to buy larger quantities of sake. Whether you're planning an event or stocking up for personal use, our bulk options come with special pricing to provide even greater value. Please contact us directly at cs@sakaya.co.

We prioritize proper storage to maintain the freshness and quality of our products. All our sake, especially nama sake, is kept refrigerated at all times to preserve its delicate flavors. Umeshu is stored in a cool, dark environment to ensure that its sweet and tart profile remains consistent until it reaches you.

Sake is best enjoyed slightly chilled for lighter types like Ginjo and Daiginjo, or warmed for richer varieties like Junmai to enhance their umami flavors. Nama sake should always be served chilled. Umeshu can be enjoyed in various ways—straight, on the rocks, or mixed with soda for a refreshing cocktail, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.
